Editor's Review
Look Again Resale Shop has carved out a niche in Alexandria, VA, where thrifting meets a touch of vintage charm. Family owned since 1992, this store is known for its unique vintage household items and clothing that keep customers coming back. I found it fascinating that even amid mixed reviews, one sentiment rings true: there's something for everyone here. Christine Blum perfectly sums it up, saying, "My favorite thrift store in Alexandria!" Meanwhile, others feel the prices can be a bit steep. For instance, Abigail pointed out that while the selections might be interesting, she noted, "They’re overflowing with stuff so I imagine they can’t get rid of it with their prices."
What struck me while reading through the reviews is the daily changing inventory, which seems to offer new treasures for those willing to look. However, some shoppers, like Nola, mentioned feeling disheartened by the higher price points, particularly on items that often come from other thrift stores. It’s that duality, finding a gem while also wondering if it’s priced fairly, that seems to define the customer experience here.

My favorite thrift store in Alexandria! I had the pleasure of visiting again today and found several treasures per usual. Staff, Cynthia, was very friendly.
I have found so many treasures in this store over the years. Don't forget to look upstairs for some vintage clothes. It is a must stop on your shopping day in Old Town. It's budget friendly too! A percentage goes to their charity for the Blind.
